Response to those who say Obama should attend Nancy Reagan and Scalia funerals



What, you are upset he is not attending their funerals but you are okay with GOP Senate members REFUSING to take any meetings or have hearings on a replacement SCOTUS member for the next 10 months? This means we basically won't have 9 members on SCOTUS until likely May of 2017.

I'm serious.

The population of DU Republicans is higher than anyone would ever guess. My estimate is that the GOP is the second most populous group at DU, second to the Sanders crowd.

and you can spot the re-animated tomb stoned returners. Became a member 10:00 AM March 9 and made first obnoxious post 10:06 AM to GCRA or RKBA.

It's not as easy in other groups but if the Primary groups were scanned I'd bet you'll see the same pattern for obnoxious posts.

No President has attended the funeral of a former first lady. Other first ladies have always gone, including the current one.

Other than that I just ignore the noise from this batch of assholes. They'd be pissed off if Obama said the sky was blue.

I replied by saying that Obama was invited to attend Mrs. Reagan's funeral, but he just said no.
